The Book Must have been written before the Nuclear tests of 2016 and the Missile Tests of 2017 then.

President Trump was killed in the nuking of Washington DC and Pence took over.

North Korea didn't have nuclear capable ICBMs in 2016, they do now, so utilizing emplaced nukes is now an outdated notion.

Well, they may worry about misfires or anti-missile defense.
Anyway, NK is now the biggest threat to America. China might wait a few years to start a war, Kim might do it today.

This is why striking North Korea first is the best option for the US. Especially if China is using the Crisis to muddy the waters; it's best to nip that in the bud.

Donald Trump should have attacked NK a long time ago.

The question is, is it too late? Is NK already able to destroy several American cities (Honolulu, Anchorage, maybe LA)?

A senior North Korean official once explained to a group of American experts, “If you remove those threats, we will feel more secure and in ten or twenty years’ time we may be able to consider denuclearization. In the meantime,” he continued, “we are prepared to meet with you as one nuclear weapon state with another to discuss arms control.”

That is North Korea’s concept of “denuclearization.” It bears no resemblance to the American definition.
